Ordination
This Saturday, I was ordained a priest. It's been difficult to put a finger on what to say about it, exactly. I originally began blogging to explore the discernment process, a theme I more-or-less stayed true to through my three projects, Saint Some Days, Fiat: Discerning God's Call, and here at Quid Sit?
